I went 8. I really liked the show. Hook no selling a goddamn Rikishi driver from a man twice his size made me irrationally angry, otherwise, fun show.

Crowd popped huge for Hook getting right back up. Imo it was fine, Hook's an enigma and is treated as such.

Yeah, agree to disagree, but I may be in the minority. Taz used to do the whole no sell back in the day but Hook is half his dad’s size. I’m all for Hook but it took me out of the match. Jobber or not, when you get dropped on your head it should mean a damn.

[Demented]

9 Hookers Hooking out of Hook.

[asuka007]

A 9.

Statlander vs. Hirsch was actually my favorite match tonight. They both need to be used FAR more in 2022. They’re so good.

I am massively indifferent to the ME.

I just don't care if wrestlers occassionally get up from a move and strong style/hulk up if the situation calls for it. Bronson hitting it and immediately walking away and screaming at the camera only for it to pan to a standing Hook was imo brilliant

The Monsta Driva isnt his finisher anyway

Yeah I too thought that was silly until I realized oh I get it, they want him to be the new taz... I just tell myself that his hair absorbed 80% of the pain

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Going with a 10 - honestly one of my favorite Rampages in a while. Everything delivered what it needed to, got some good promos, and something of significance happened that left me wondering what would happen on Dynamite. Felt like an A level show which is often doesn't.

And telling yourself that is kinda silly, no? I’m all for Hook, think he’s the man, I just think he can get over without doing everything Taz did.

It is silly, but I watch a silly product. On a serious note I do share your sentiments. Hook is fine so far I would still need to see more of him before I shower praises but he's got potential

[asuka007]

Leyla Hirsch to Team Taz. Make it happen.

[Cyno]

I dozed off after dinner and completely forgot it was on.

[Duke Cameron]

Didn’t watch

8. Three good matches and an obviously significant title change, definitely one of the good Rampages even if God cut off Miro's promo.

["Sweet & Sour" ImSoFudginGreat]

I gave it an 8. Solid show. For me, Hirsch vs Statlander was the worst match of the show, and I still enjoyed the heck out of it which I guess shows the quality of the show overall.

I loved Isiah Kassidy flailing/scrambling to avoid the snare trap. Hook’s no sell didn’t bother me, but I used to watch early 2000’s NOAH where a lot was no sold, so I’m a little desensitised to it. Plus, it works towards his badass aura they’re trying to build. I’ve always felt Leyla Hirsch feels like she’s playing a wrestler, like you can tell she’s not in the moment. She is obviously very talented, and she has come a long way since her run in Stardom, and if she is turning heel I think this could be what takes her to that next level. The main event was enjoyable, Sammy looked good in defeat and I’m interested to see what the next part of the Cody saga will bring. Also, all of the promos/video packages hit for me so that’s another plus.

He's only 22, You can absorb a lot of damage when you're younger, Just look at the Jackass crew or Foley.

Not saying he should reach taker levels of No selling but it didn't hurt the match for me

8/10

Jungle Boy/Isiah Kassidy was solid. Hook's offense looked good, he's got a confidence/presence to him, and he's obviously over as hell. But for me that piledriver no-sell was totally absurd, and if that how he's gonna be booked moving forward then I'm off the hype train for now. Statlander/Leyla was really good. Main event was great in a vacuum but while I'm sure they're going somewhere with the Cody tweener stuff, which has been super blatant lately, right now it's just frustrating seeing him go over people way more popular than he is. Overall though, a good show.

[Mid-Carder]

Bit of a pointless show and an absolutely atrocious title change. 6.

[Celgress]

I didn't watch busy with the fam. Given the Sammy v. Cody situation, I'm glad I missed it.... *sigh*
